Building Stones & Stone Buildings of Staffordshire

in stock.

The author provides an overview of the background to any study of building materials. Whilst much of this will not be news to people with a strong knowledge of geology and geological processes, it is nevertheless good to be reminded of them, particularly in such a fresh and highly informative manner.

He also provides a useful overview of building stone resources of both Staffordshire and of British stone. The chapters on stone restoration and conservation and architectural styles is very useful and informative.
